Work Text:
You wondered why you did things sometimes. Everyone has their regrets, sometimes big, sometimes small. Maybe you regretted that one time you lended someone some money and they promised to pay you back, only for them not to. Or maybe once you told a lie to someone only for it to stab you in the back later on.
Or maybe you promised your boyfriend that you would help him with his shift at the Octavinelle café. Like, he promised you it would be fine and you would only be there for about an hour and there was no way you would get bored or tired.
Yeah, you loved him, but damn did he lie straight to your face.
You had now been working a close total of 3 hours and jeez, costumers could seriously be impatient. The costumers were of course just your fellow classmates but still, they just treated you as if you were their waiter, not an actual student they attended class with. The café was extremely busy so you were running back and forth, taking orders, running them to the kitchen, and then back again. Floyd had come to you, practically begging for your help since the café was so crazy busy. You wished you had just stayed in your room at Rackshackle dorm. Even a small nap would be amazing right now.
It wasn’t your first time coming to help at the café. Being that it was the only place to get food on NRC campus besides the cafeteria, it tended to get busy pretty often. Most of the time, the students that were in the Octavinelle dorm helped out when the café got too busy, but today, it was just crazy.
Too many people we’re coming in and there weren’t enough tables. Waiters were running around, taking orders and delivering them. The people in the kitchen were struggling to get all the food together for the costumers who wouldn’t stop complaining. The whole café was a straight up madhouse.
You rushed out of the kitchen to get to your next table. You practically ran once you saw who you would be serving. Sitting at the table were three of your close friends, Ace, Deuce, and you dorm mate, Grim.
“Hey guys, what are you doing here ??” You asked.
“Umm isn’t it obvious ?? We’re here to get food.” Ace said with a slight laugh.
“Yeah, and it better be good food too !! We had to wait in that line for hours !! There better be the fanciest, tastiest tuna in the word here.” Grim complained.
Deuce sighed at Grim’s exaggerated comment.
“It wasn’t hours, more like thirty or so minutes. Anyways, what are you doing here y/n ?? Your not part of this dorm..”
“Oh, well, I was asked to come and help out for a bit with the café being so busy and all. Although, I’ve definitely been here for a good while..” You stated.
“Ohh, and who asked you to help out ?? Was it maybe..a specific tall, teal haired eel guy ?? Maybe one with a pretty twisted personality as well ??” Ace teased.
“No stupid, Jade didn’t ask me to help out.” You teased back.
“Ughh don’t even, you know who I’m talking about.”
“Yeah, yeah, whatever. Floyd just asked for a bit of help and I didn’t have anything super important to do so I came to help.”
“Mhmm, sureee.” Gosh, Ace could be such a tease sometimes.
“Come on, stop yacking !! I want food !!” Grim complained.
“Oops, yeah sorry.” You said, taking out the pad of paper and a pen from your pocket. “So, what do your guys want ??”
After writing down what your friends wanted, you took their orders back to the kitchen. You put the order paper on the counter for the chef, and quickly headed to the bathroom. You just needed a super quick break from the loud noise of the crowded café.
You leaned over the sink and closed your eyes for a few moments. Finally, you thought, at least a few minutes of peace. You had a pretty bad headache from running around and all the noise, so the quietness of the empty bathroom was somewhat nice. A few minutes later, you decided to go ahead and start getting back to work. You walked out of the bathroom and started heading back to the kitchen, when something, or someone, grabbed you from behind. Your mouth was covered with their hand so your panicked yelling couldn’t be heard. Their another hand was wrapped around you stomach, so you were struggling to move. They were dragging you somewhere, away from the rest of the café.
Before you knew it, you were being shoved into the dark pantry of the café, the person holding you also putting themselves inside. Once they somehow managed get you both inside, they shut the door and locked it. The hand was finally taken off of your face and and when you were about the scream for help, when the lights of the pantry were turned on, showing the face of your “kidnapper”.
Luckily for you, you knew this “kidnapper”.
“Floyd ?!?!! What the hell ??” You whisper, yelled.
“Haha yeah sorry bout that.” He laughed.
“Well, now that I know that I wasn’t just taken by some crazy serial killer, mind explaining to me why you took me out of my shift ?? And same with you, your shift isn’t over yet either.”
“Oh well, in a short explanation, I was bored.”
He was bored ?? Well sure, so were you, but did he really have to pull you into the pantry. It was a pretty cramped space, barley any room for the two of you. Second, the light was pretty dim so it was hard to see anything. Not the best place for a lunch break.
“Floyd, are you serious ?? The café is super busy right now and we don’t have time for a break. Plus, you were the one who asked me to help in the first place. I really don’t want Azul all mad at me too. I’m getting payed for this and he’s totally not gonna give me anything if he finds out I’m skipping on part of my shift.” You complained.
“But come onnnn. You could use a break and you know it. Plus, your with me, what could go wronggg ??” He said, snaking his arms around your waist.
As tempted as you were, you knew you couldn’t give in. You usually loved it when he wrapped you in his arms. Despite his tall figure, he was super soft and nice to cuddle with. His long arms were perfect for holding you close and you loved it. But not today, at least not yet. Not when you still had work to do.
Ignoring your want to just cuddle up and hold him, you moved his arms off of you and pushed him back as much as you could in the small pantry.
“No Floyd, not right now. We seriously need to get back to work.”
“Ughh pleaseee ??” He begged. “Not even just a small break ?? I promise it won’t be long.”
“Uh huh, just like you promised that our shift wouldn’t be very long. We’ve been here for a good few hours now. I’m not believing anymore of your promises.”
“Huh nooo. Shrimpy, I’m sorryyy. I didn’t realize how long it would take. Come on though, it won’t be long. And you know you want it.” He said, a mischievous smirk forming on his face as he wrapped his arms around you once again.
“Floyd, no. Stop. We need to get back to-“
You were cut off as he pressed his lips against yours. You wanted to push him away, you were both busy and didn’t have time for this, but something was stopping you. His kiss was just perfect to you. It was soft, yet somewhat rough, but not in a bad way. His lips were slightly chapped and tasted like salted caramel. You didn’t know why, but you liked to.
He pulled away, much to your disappointment. Your face must it shown it too because once you opened your eyes, he started laughing.
“Awww is my Little Shrimpy sad that I pulled away ?? Haha, don’t worry, there’s more where that came from..”
Oh great, you thought, I’m trapped now. There probably wasn’t anyway you were getting out of this one, so you kinda just gave up on trying.
Floyd softly pushed you against the wall of the closet, placing his hands on the wall next to both sides of your head. He moved forward so your faces were just mere inches from each other.
“Floyd..” You whispered.
“Shh, just try to stay quiet so no one hears us..” He says before placing his lips on yours once again.
The kiss started off soft, your lips moving in sync with one another. You moved your hands up to the back of his head, lacing your fingers through his head and softly rubbing his scalp. He seemed to like this because his hands started to move downwards, moving from your waist to your ass. Suddenly, he grabbed, causing you to gasp. He took advantage of this as he slipped his tough swiftly into your mouth. His hands started moving and roaming around your body as you continued kissing him. He started softly nibbling on your bottom lip, causing you to moan into the kiss.
His pulled away once again a moment later, smirking and looking into your eyes.
“Ahh so Little Shrimpy does like it. You couldn’t even deny it if your tried~” He chuckled.
“Floyd, don’t even. Your so needy..” You started, closing the gap between your lips once again.
This time, you attempted to take more control over the kiss, pushing your tough in first, but it backfired as Floyd took the upper hand and took control once more. The small pantry continued to fill with the quiet sounds of soft moans and small whimpers from you.
“Floyd..” You moaned.
“Hehe, Shrimpy, your too cute..” He grinned. “Want to get a little braver ??”
“Y-yes..”
Floyd moved his hands down once again, placing them at the front of your pants.
“Ready ??” He asked, his grin displaying his row of pointy teeth.
“Mhmm..” You breathed.
He started undoing the button on your pants until..
“Floyd, y/n, what in the world-“
You quickly glanced over, seeing the other teal-haired twin, Jade, standing in the now opened doorway of the pantry.
“J-Jade ??” You cried.
“Uh, sorry to interrupt.” He said, trying to gain back his calm composer. “Your friends at the table are getting impatient and we were all wondering where you were. And Floyd, get back out there. Azul is gonna get mad and put you on dish duty if you don’t.”
“Aww fineee. We’ll be out in a minute.” Floyd groaned.
“Alright. And please, both of you, wait until later to do…whatever you were about to start doing.” He sighed.
You felt yourself blush and you turned away and looked at Floyd as Jade walked away.
“Floyd, I can’t believe-“ You started.
“Heh, yeah I know shrimpy. Let’s get back to work before Jade or Azul bites our heads off. We can continue where we left off later~”He winked at you before walking away.
Jeez, sometimes you wondered how in the world you could deal with him.
